Halal Reviews for Watan Southall

The food was very good, with generous portions, and the restaurant was lively and busy. If you plan to dine here, it’s best to book a table in advance, otherwise be prepared for a waiting time. We waited around 20–25 minutes. The queue system could also be improved, as we noticed some guests arriving later were seated before us. One suggestion for the management: Mash Allah, you have many customers daily, which is wonderful to see. However, it would be great to invest a little in maintaining clean washrooms. Having a dedicated person to clean them regularly would make a big difference, as the current condition was disappointing. Overall, a nice experience with excellent food, but room for improvement in facilities.

Absolutely amazing food! My friend introduced me to the restaurant and my first time eating Afghan food. I recommend anyone to take the time and try Watan, you will not be disappointed. I had the Lamb Shank Kabuli Pilau, lamb curry and lamb chops (all in the picture), amazing! 🎉

This restaurant used to be called TKC. Many celebrities visited it such as Imran Khan, Umar Sharif and all the cricketers food used to go from here. It's called Watan now as we knew one of the older gentleman who owned it (not very well but he used to recognise us). He passed away a few years ago unfortunately hence new ownership. The whole decor has changed now but we miss the old TKC. Search it on Google and you should be able to find the old photos. Some nostalgic value for us older folk when we arrive in places like this.... We had chicken and lamb karahi with lamb dum biryiani with Nans (including chilli). The salad was complimentary and was quite fresh. The food is outstanding and if you follow my reviews, I don't say that for many establishments. I'd say try it as that's the proof. I recommend Watan. Pay a visit.

We visited Watan as a large group of over 50 people and were very impressed with the experience. The team kindly provided us with the entire downstairs seating area, which made it comfortable and private for everyone. The staff were extremely friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout our visit. The ambience was warm and welcoming, creating a great atmosphere for our gathering. The food was delicious, with excellent presentation that showed real attention to detail. Overall, a fantastic experience – highly recommended!

The food was lovely however the service isn’t great. Food came quite quickly with a generous portion. Customer service was quite odd though, had to speak to various people or wait 10 minutes for what I asked for. Some of the servers also looked quite confused. Was also expensive for what you receive. But the food itself was great.
